I didn't really feel like I matched any of Schott's personality profiles but there were a couple of things I like. First a quote:

Wealth accrues from a pattern of generally right behavior, not from trying to extract the maximum profit out of each and every situation, since one never knows what the maximum might be.

Which I liken to my baseball analogy: it's better to hit singles and doubles, get men on base and move the runners rather than hit a home run at every at bat. The next part I liked was Appendix B: Net Present Value: A Calculation for Confident Buying. For awhile I've been looking for methods to calculate values of companies that is short of getting an MBA. This is a great 3 page start.

About Me

I'm Brad and I write NachoLoversAnonymous as a hobby and creative outlet. I am an engineer in the defense industry and have far ranging interests from nachos (duh) to urban issues of geography and economics. I also like maps. A lot. Having already done a stint at graduate school, I am looking at going back. As I learn about prospective subjects and participate in different activities relating to our built world of Los Angeles I will post about them here, hopefully bringing logical arguments and keen insights. In the process my writing should improve and this 'about me' and the blog will become more focused. You can reach me at btbrauer (at) gmail (dot) com.
